High Protein Cheesecake Jars
These no-bake cheesecake jars are packed with 30g of protein each! A creamy, healthy dessert made with cottage cheese, yogurt, and maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese 2% milk fat recommended
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup fresh berries plus more for topping, optional
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the cottage cheese and blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. You want to eliminate all the curds for that silky cheesecake texture.
- Add the maple syrup and pulse again to fully incorporate the sweetness.
Step 2: Combine with Greek Yogurt
- Transfer the whipped cottage cheese into a large mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and gently fold the mixture together with a silicone spatula until well blended and creamy.
- This base forms the protein-rich cheesecake layer that’s light, tangy, and perfectly smooth.
Step 3: Layer the Cheesecake Jars
In 4 individual jars or dessert cups, start layering the ingredients:
- A spoonful of crushed graham crackers
- A layer of the cheesecake mixture
- Another layer of graham crackers
- A handful of fresh berries
- Finish with a final dollop of cheesecake mixture
- Repeat for all jars. Garnish with more berries, crushed graham crackers, or even a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
